The Great Trade Robbery (2014)
In 1989, the largest trade in NFL history sent Herschel Walker from Dallas to Minnesota. The Vikings destroyed what appeared to be a budding dynasty by selling the farm for Walker. Dallas restored its place as America's Team, became the team of the 1990's and won three Super Bowls. Most people consider it to be the worst trade ever made. Except for Jimmy Johnson. He'd say it's the best.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
30 for 30 Shorts: The Great Trade Robbery (2014)Jimmy Johnson is a wrecking force in this entry in the ESPN series. Johnson talks about going to the Dallas Cowboys and how awful they were and how the only thing to get them better would be to trade Herschel Walker. At the time everyone thought Johnson was crazy for trading off their biggest star but in the long run it turned into three Super Bowl rings. THE GREAT TRADE ROBBERY is another very fun, highly entertaining episode thanks in large part to the enthusiasm of Johnson. You can tell that he's happy that he got one over on Minnesota and it's clear from that way he shines when talking about it that he can't help but like to brag that he did know what he was doing when most people were calling him an idiot. This is certainly a fun episode as the director manages to tell you the whole story including the outcome and there's just no denying that Johnson pushes the story like no other.Episode: A
